This needs to be incorporated into a movie somehow.   :tongueout:

I know who I would pick to star...

Squirrels!  AGH!  :hatred:  There's a story here, deep within my subconscious:

For the first part of my childhood I lived in Arlington Heights, a suburb of Chicago famous for its horse track (which burned down).  It was long enough ago that there were still bugs and animals and things, not just pavement and people.  I discovered a cardinal nest in a modest tree at the side of my house one day.  Soon it had an egg and I began watching it intently.  One afternoon, while watching The Great Muppet Caper, I happened to glance out the window and saw the chick break into life!  I gazed with an adolescent sense of awe and wonderment.  It was sticky and gross and tiny, but I had witnessed its birth!  I was practically its godfather!  I looked at the television for a moment, then back at the window, just in time to see a squirrel attack the nest, pick up the chick, and tear it in half.  It nibbled on its carcass in squirrel fashion (quick, tiny nibbles and bulging cheeks).  The cardinal parents returned to see this and chased it away.  By this point I was crying uncontrollably, the whole of my world was shattered.  Of course, no one believed me.  Squirrels don't eat birds!

To this day I will not watch The Muppets.

The words squirrel and rampage weren't meant to co-exist in the same sentence.

Odinn7 would definitely disagree with you.  He has been scarce lately.  I'm worried that they finally got him.

I hate squirrels...damn lawn destroyers they are.  I had a crazy neighbor once tell me he used to be loaded with them and killed a bunch of them with a Daisy air riffle.  Still more and more would come back.  He said one day he wounded one and it got away and oddly, all the squirrels never came to his house again.  He claims that survivor probablly told his buddies not to go near the house.  Not that I promote that kind of thing...um yeah...

Squirrels stole all my pecans last year . . . this year I've got a shot gun.  Squirrel stew, anyone?

This could be a new Sci-Fi movie.

"Rabid Squirles"

The sequel could be "Rabid Squirels Vs. Ice Spiders"

Squirrels aren't too much of a problem for my lawn, the dog keeps 'em on their toes.  What is wrecking my lawn is the damned moles.  Anyone have a good way of getting rid of moles?  I'd sic the dog on them, but then the lawn would be wrecked what with all the digging.

"We had to destroy the lawn in order to save it"

Croquet mallet, a lawn chair, and a cool glass of lemonade should work.  Sit in the lawn chair, drink the lemonade, and when you see a mole moving through a tunnel go and whack it.

I've seen people use the bait and traps for effect.  Still, the best defense I ever saw for moles was an interested housecat.

That article was awesome! Thanks so much for sharing it! If only that could happen on my street!

Try the Rodenator! It injects a mixture of propane and oxygen in  the burrows, which is then ingnited. The resulting explosion sends a shock wave  through the tunnel which is sure to kill any critter: www.rodenator.com

As for the squirrels, I am expecting a zombie infestation in Passau any day now.

We did something like that as kids.  My friend's yard (it was 2 acres, I think) had a problem with moles and the croquet mallets wielded by vigilant 12-year-olds were not keeping them in check.  We went around the yard, dumping kerosene, gasoline, and gulf wax down the holes.  We also stuffed in bottle rockets, roman candles, and M80's.  What resulted when we ignited the mix was jets of flame shooting out of the holes, explosions of dirt, and all of us thinking that we had set the entire yard on fire.
